SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS AND SOME OF THEIR PUPILS. ROSEBUD AGENCY, S. D.

}

SEPTEMBER, 10. 1900.

ST. FRANCIS MISSION,
ROSEBUD, S. DAKOTA,
AUGUST 5TH 1900.

Dear Eyanpaba: —

Two or three
weeks before the close of our school,
Rev. Mother informed us that three
of the Sisters would make an over
land trip to Crow Greek where the
Indian Congress was to be held.
On June 24th, our annual closing
exercises took place, after which,
we began to prepare the many little
necessaries which would be required
on the way. Having heard, how-
ever, that the Big White River was
higher than usual, Rev. Father Per-
rig, S. J. whom we were to accom-
pany, and who was to pilot us over
that dangerous water, warned us, not
to take anything along which was
not absolutely necessary. This was
to be our first lengthy trio across
the prairie and we were quite curious
to see what it would be like. Bright
and early on the morning of June
25th we set out, Rev. Father Perrig
and the Sisters in the carriage, and
a. farm hand driving the provision
wagon. It had been settled pre-
viously that we should join the In-
dians from our Reservation at Lower
Brule, as we wished first, to visit
the homes of some of our pupils in
the Ponca district, 123 miles from
our Mission. After passing over
about 40 miles of dry, burnt prairie,
we camped for dinner on Turtle
Creek. There was no shade to be
found, so we had to settle down in
the broiling sun and prepare dinner.
Owing to the excessive heat and to
our being unaccustomed to camp
life, it was with but little relish that
we partook of our dinner, but we
made up for it later on, for we had
beautiful weather and good appetites
all the way, afterwards.

At 8:30 that evening, we reached
the hospitable home of Mr. Geo.
Hug-gins, a well-to-do stockman

married to a mixed-bloocl woman.
Their children have attended our
school for years and are among our
brightest and best pupils. Both
parents and children did everything
they possiblv could to make our stay
with them pleasant. The mother
and two daughters received Ho-
ly Communion while we were there.
We had driven 01 miles the first
clay, and after resting a day with
these good people, we started out
for another long drive of 62 miles to
the home of Mr. Geo. Pete another
stockman. Passing farther down to-
wards Ponca Creek and the White-
stone, we found the grass much
ureener and better. In fact, this
was the best country we saw on our
trip. When we arrived at Rock
Bridge Creek, Rev. Father Perrig's
faithful team which has made so
many trips over this road with him,
turned out, of their own accord, for
dinner, (this was his usual camping
place) so here we stopped, and after
spending about an hour and a half,
givhig the horses time to feed and
rest, we continued on our journey.
Just as we reached the crossing at
Ponca Creek, we saw one of our pu-
pils, Mr. Pete's son, coming down
the opDosite hill to meet us, and
from here, he acted as our guide to
his home about six miles farther.
Here we found a well-equipped
stock-farm and everything else in
abundance. All that kind and gen-
erous hearts could invent, was done
to make us enjoy ourselves. While
there, we had occasion to visit the
"Catholic Ladies' Sewing Circle," as
it just happened to be their day of
meeting. We were greatlv edified
at the splendid order which prevailed
in this Society. Every other Thurs-
day, the members assemble at a
different home and sew all day —
making all kinds of garments — neat
and in the latest style. (The lady
of the house furnishes the dinner. )
The garments here completed, are
sold and the proceeds are to be used

for the erection of a church, the Sa-
cred Heart, which they hope to see
completed in the near future. Their
meetings are opened with prayer and
closed with a chapter read from the
Bible, prayer and singing. Every-
thing went on in perfect harmony.
Rev. Fr. Perrig who has charge of
this mission may well feel proud of
it and certainly deserves great credit
for the good spirit and zeal, which,
through his untiring efforts, have
been awakened in the hearts of these
good people.

During the three days we spent
at Ponca we called at the homes of
all of our pupils living in the vicini-
ty, were received by all with the
greatest kindness, and were very
much gratified to find them all en-
joying the benefits of such splendid
homes. — We had Holy Mass every
day we were out and many people
received Holy Communion.

On Sunday morning, accompanied
by Mr. Wm. Emery, and his two
daughters and their grandma, at
whose pleasant home we had spent
the day before, we started out for
another two davs drive to Crow
Creek, and after driving 59-| miles,
we reached Oacoma, on the
banks of the Missouri and put up
for the night at the hotel. Now we
were across the White River which
we had dreaded so much, and, al-
though the river had been quite
high a few clays before, we crossed
it without much difficulty. This is
a very swift river and subject to
sudden rises caused by local rains.

On Monday morning we crossed
the Missouri five miles from Oacoma,
on the pontoon bridge at Chamber-
lain, S. Dak., stopped at this place
to get a fresh supply of provissions,
and then started on our last long
drive to the Mission at Stephan.
On our road lay Crow Creek Agen-
cy which is built on a very pretty
site. It excels both in location and
neatness anv agencv we have ever

seen. The last clay's drive seemed
longer than any other and it was
with gladness, that coming over a
little knoll, we caught the first
glimpse of the Mission. Then we
saw the encampment and began to
wonder where our Indians from Rose-
bud were camping for they had
reached the Mission ahead of us.
We were not left long in suspense,
however, for the first greeting we
received was from some of the men
and boys from home.

Then we drove up farther to the
school and were kindly welcomed
by the Sisters.

This was our first visit to the good
Benedictines and we shall not soon
forget the pleasant days spent with
them. All was activity at the Mis-
sion, as Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Gorman
was expected to arrive that night at
about half past eleven. The Indians
were quite as eager as the Fathers
and Sisters to welcome his Lordship,
and, notwithstanding the heavy rain
and hail, some ol the men were ever
on the alert to catch the first glimpse
of his carriage. The night was verv
dark but the constant lightning
provided a light. At last, at about
one o'clock, the beautiful chimes
rang out, — so sweet and solemn they
sounded in the depths of the night —
and told us that our Bishop was with
us. But how? The Rt. Rev. Bish-
op, Rev. Fr. Digmann, S. J., Rev.
Fr. Ambrose, O. S. B. who had met
them at the depot, and the Bishop's
nephew, Master Paul O'Gorman, had
been out in all the storm and their
clothes were perfectly saturated
with water. Happily, however, none
of them seemed to be indisposed af-
ter it.

On Tuesday morning the Con-
gress was opened with a Solemn
High Mass after which the Bishop
administered the Sacrament of con-
firmation to a large number of In-
dians and Whites. In the afternoon,
the Indians in procession, wearing

SEPTEMBER, 10, 1900.

their badges and carrying banners
conducted the Rt. Rev. Bishop to the
booth or place of meeting, which had
been erected for that occasion. His
Lordship listened with great inter-
est to the reports given by the presi-
dents of the different omniciyes. Al-
though the Congress was not a gene-
ral one, it was well represented,
there being delegates from seven
or eight agencies.

The Cheyenne River Indians with
their missionary, Rev. Fr. Fintan,
O. S. B., had the largest number of
representatives of any agency and
received special praise from the Rt.
Rev. Bishon for their zeal and fide-
lity in doing good — so much the
more worthy of notice, owing to their
having but one priest and no Sisters.
The second day passed off in much
the same manner as tne first. The
Rev. Fathers were kept busy, early
and late, instructing, hearing con-
fessions etc.

Sermons in Sioux were given by
Rev. Fr. Fintan, O. S. B., Rev. Fr.
Digmann, S. J. and Rev. Fr.. Per-
rig, S. J.

On the third and last day, after
solemn High Mass, Confirmation
was again administered by the Rt.
Rev. Bishop.

The rain which came in abun-
dance during the entire week made
it verv disagreeable to get around,
for the Immaculate Conception Mis-
sion lies in the gumbo country. Trie
poor Indians had the water running
through their tents and their bed-
ding was wet, through and through.
God took care of them, though, for
it seems none of them became ill
from the effects of it. Owing to the
rain, the Blessed Sacrament had to
be removed from the church and the
last meeting of the congress was
held there.

On Friday morning, the Rt. Rev.
Bishop accompanied by Rev. Fr.
Digmann left us, but as for those
who had come across land, we had
to impose a day longer upon the
hospitality of Rev. Fr. Pius, O. S.
B. and the kind Sisters, for there
was no thought of making a long
drive through the gumbo.

At the kind invitation of Rev. Fr.
O'Neill of Pierre, we thought of re-
turning home by way of that little
city but obstacles arose which pre-
vented our doing so, much to our
disappointment. On Friday evening,
the Indians from Rosebud broke
camp and drove 15 miles. The next
morning early we said good bye to
the kind Fathers and Sisters and
soon overtaking our people, were
with them as far as Oacoma. Here
we had an opportunity to sleep in a
tent on the ground with a sack of
oats for our pillow. While in camp,
some one passed and told us that
we would not be able to cross White
River as it was much higher than it
had been, so rather than run the
risk of having to remain on the north
bank of White River for several
days, we left the Indians, turned
back to Chamberlain, and going-
down to Wilson's Ferry, crossed the
Missouri there and returned to Mr.
Emery's place. Tnis was a oreat
deal out of our way, but we were
now south of White River and sure
of reaching home. After resting a
day, and bidding farewell to Ponca
and its good people a second time,
we started on our homeward journev.
spending the first night at Mr. La-
moreaux' home where we were
treated very kindly. The next day
we reached Mr. Flood's place, and
much to our astonishment, found
that he and his family who had also
been at the congress, and from
whom we had separated at Oacoma.
had succeeded in fording the River
and reached home a day ahead of us.
Here we remained over night, to the
joy of this good man and his family
who have so long wished to have us
visit their home.

The next morning we heard Mass
and received Holy Communion in
the pretty little church of St. Peter,
which has been lately built, and
which stands but a few rods from Mr.
Flood's home. We felt quite at
home here, for both the altar and
communion railing were those which

both are kept in the best of order.

At about eight o'clock, we started
on our last drive — homeward. We
had had a pleasant trip which all
enjoyed; nevertheless, we were glad
to feel that we were nearing home.
At last, we see our own dear St.
Francis Mission but it is still a lono-
drive, for it can be seen a lono- wavs
off. Thegatheringclouds threatened
to send us home with wet clothes,
but we escaped with a few large drops
and a terrible windstorm, which lasted
only a short while. Now we are at
home. How it touched one to see
our good mother, ever anxious for
our welfare, watching out for us! She
gave a general alarm and soon our
good Sisters came from all directions
to welcome us home again. We had
been gone 18 days, 9 of which were
spent on the road, and had driven just
467 miles, quite enough for one vaca-
tion trip.

On such a tour, one can see what a
poor missionary must have to endure
on his frequent trips to the distant
camps, often in the coldest weather, in
blizzards, having to cross rivers where
there are no bridges, etc.— where for
miles and miles not a home nor person
is to be seen. Surely, if anyone de-
serves a rich reward in heaven, it is
the poor missionary, deprived of all the
comforts of life, who spends his time,
laboring among the Indians.

Sincerely in Christ,
Sistees of St. Francis.

of their religion and of their zeal for
the house of God. Consequently
when they have a church it will be
to their honor, a monument of their
zeal to practice their holy religion,
and they will be only too glad to as-
semble in it to praise and thank God,
Who will pour upon them blessings
a hundred' -fold for the sacrifice
made for their faith.

Yes, let us give the Indians a
chance, and encourage them, to
spend a little money for their church,
be it ever so little, it will make
them more interested in church
work, more earnest in the practice
of their religion, and what is most
important, God will bless them for
what they willingly and generouslv
do for Gocl and His church. We do
not believe in giving the Indians
everything gratis, it spoils them,
they bee ,me impressed with the
false idea that we should pay them
for being church-members and the
consequence is, they have no practi-
cal faith and receive no blessino-
from God.

Tiie above description of the
Rosebud Sisters' journey is verv in-
teresting; and most eneouragino- for
those who labor amono- the Sioux
Nation. A most striking fact is,
that in a place so far away from all
civilization the church work is thriv-
ing wonderfully, owing to the faith
and industry of those good Indians.
In the remote Ponca district, the
Indian women assemble every other
week to sew and make clothes and
other useful articles which they sell

PRAYER-BOOK.

For several months we have not
received one cent for Prayer-books.
What is the reason of this? The In-
dians were so anxious to have them
printed, but now they seem to for-
